The Paul-Lincke-Ufer is a street in the Berlin district of Kreuzberg . It runs north parallel to the Landwehr Canal . There are numerous garden bars, cafés and restaurants on Paul-Lincke-Ufer. Between Liegnitzer and Forster Straße, the street is just a footpath and a cycle path, on which a boules court, which is very popular in summer , was laid out. The public and supervised Pauli playground is also worth mentioning.

The street is part of a popular residential area, because on the one hand there is a pleasant living environment through the green belt to the Landwehr Canal and the garden bars, on the other hand, due to the classification as a simple residential area in the Berlin rent index, rents are relatively cheap.

History of the road

This embankment began as Kottbusser Kommunikation . Around 1856, a second section was given the name Kottbusser Ufer , which only had four parcels. Later further sections were added on the banks of the expanded Landwehr Canal and the road ran "from the Görlitzer Ufer to the Elisabethufer". Now there were already 65 built-up plots on the north side of the street, mostly residential buildings with a few wood and coal storage areas in between (as of 1874).

On November 7, 1956, the 90th birthday of the composer and Berlin honorary citizen Paul Lincke , the name was changed to Linckeufer . Lincke had  lived nearby, at 64 Oranienstrasse . Ten years later, on November 7, 1966, the name was officially completed as Paul-Lincke-Ufer .
